19:34 - Current company car

Current company car, originally uploaded by L.B.

The Chevrolet Captiva...this is my company car until my proper company car turns up.

It handles like a wounded sofa and needs GPS so you can plan where to brake. It steers by sheer will power, and the throttle feels like it is connected by carrier pigeon. The acceleration is mainly down to the fuel being used up and making the car lighter...

It's not one I'd buy. A 4x4 should be a 4x4 for a reason...this is a fashion statement...but unlike the more expensive 4x4's that will never see dirt, the Captiva is the Fashion statement by ASDA.

At least it has really poor mpg....d'oh.
